Win the Heart not the Mind - (4552)

Life in some way or another is about wining or earning our place. I think we all know this at subconscious or conscious level.


Sometimes we don't need to win or earn any place, it is given and sometimes rightly so, it isn't, we must earnt it. For example, we don't graduate from medical school and straight away take up the post of head of surgery. 


People knowing that they have to win a place, try to win a place by using two ways. There are many ways but they all come under these two ways which are: winning people's minds or winning people's hearts.


People who try by winning people's minds do so by arguing, protesting, bringing contradictions and apparent unfairness to light, attacking what is currently in place and by presenting the logical and often by applying a bit of coercion to force the logical (which can be the logical seen by all and sometimes it is just their 'logical').


These people take this way because they are mostly all mind themselves. They lack heart because vested interests hiding in their mind prevent them from using their heart, or they just have not developed their heart before.


Their main goal is to convince others why they should be there but not being what is really needed in their consciousness to be there.


Vested interests such as ambition, which often win something only for the sake of it and leave it later... because they have proved to themselves that they are good enough.


What people really want is to have their heart 'won'. Having the mind won is 'dime a dozen' as every sales person, TV, magazine and internet advertisement does that.


Then there are people who try to win the hearts of others. This can only really by done by the heart itself. By what is true. For the love of it, not for the desire or false need for it.


People know the heart is true and the mind is not. The mind can present the truth, the logical but the heart is the logical and is the truth. 


The heart is noble and kind, people know that. People know that the mind is cold and calculating. People know that the mind can be brilliant but the person with the brilliant mind can be rotten: 'intellectual rascal".


People trust the heart but not the mind. People want to give a place to others that are from the heart, that have trust, that have love, that are noble. Not to those that are all mind and are cold, tough, inflexible, argumentative, all rules and controlling. 


The mind does not pass the tests of the heart...


People know the mind leaves things and the heart stays and embellishes...


The heart has the power to hangs in there and overcome the difficulties... As soon as the mind can not see a solution it crashes...


Which person would something to someone who is all from the mind as opposed to someone who is all from the heart? You wouldn't would you? I don't think so.


In life there those that are like 'masters of the mind' yet they are not masters of the soul or the spirit or even of human ethics and noble emotion. Master Samael said that black magicians are those that are really masters of the mind. They are very logical, astute, convincing, speak beautifully about the noble virtues yet they have nothing of heart.

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
